Abstract: A track fitting for securing a structure to an open-top channeled track may include at least one leaf having a flange portion that depends at an angle from a levering portion, and at least one fastener for connecting the levering portion to the structure, wherein in a secured condition, the flange portion is oriented for engagement with an underside of at least one of the two inwardly directed lips and the levering portion extends outside the open-top channel where the fastener secures the levering portion to the structure.

Abstract: An auto injector apparatus includes a syringe and an auto injector. The syringe includes a barrel holding a therapeutic fluid including an anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (anti-CGRP) antibody. The syringe also includes a stopper disposed within the barrel and the stopper moves axially within the barrel between a first position and a second position to expel at least some of the therapeutic fluid from the syringe. The auto injector includes a rod that abuts the stopper and an injection spring that drives the rod to apply a dispensing force through the rod to the stopper. The dispensing force includes a first dispensing force of between 20 N and 40 N and a second dispensing force of between 12 N and 20 N. The injection spring initially applies the first dispensing force and then applies the second dispensing force to move the stopper to the second position.

Abstract: The embodiments described and claimed herein are a restraint system for securing a wheeled mobility device in a vehicle. In one embodiment, at least one restraint includes a hand-releasable connection to the vehicle. In other embodiments, the hand releasable connection is formed by a set of mounting details, where the mounting details include a headed stud received in a slot. In yet other embodiments, the hand releasable connection can be formed by a spring loaded locking pin that engages with a bore. In even further embodiments, the headed stud and spring loaded locking pin are coupled to the restraint, while the slot and bore are coupled to the floor of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method of adapting an auto injector configured to actuate a prefilled syringe, the auto injector having a biasing member having a spring constant, the prefilled syringe being filled with a volume of therapeutic fluid, the prefilled syringe including a barrel, stopper, and a needle, the stopper having a path of travel, the biasing member arranged to move the stopper along the path of travel. An auto injector having an injection spring adapted to an aged prefilled syringe.

Abstract: The embodiments described and claimed herein are a restraint system for securing a wheeled mobility device and its occupant in a vehicle. In one embodiment, occupant restraints and an anchor point are provided. The occupant restraints are connected directly to the anchor point, while the anchor point is on a frame of the wheeled mobility device and is adapted for connection to the vehicle for securing the wheeled mobility device and its occupant to the vehicle. With this configuration, occupant loads during an accident will bypass the gurney and occupant head excursions can be reduced.

Abstract: The embodiments described and claimed herein are a restraint system for securing a gurney in a vehicle. In one embodiment, a conventional antler and rail-type gurney restraint system is improved by the addition of a center latch restraint that engages with a latch member secured by a support bracket to the underside of the gurney. In one configuration, the latch member enters into engagement with the center latch restraint through lateral movement of the control end of the gurney. In that respect, the EMT may use the same autonomic movements used with the conventional antler and rail-type system to secure the gurney in the vehicle. Optionally, one or more of the gurney occupant restraint belts are directly connected to the support bracket, whereby occupant loads during an accident will bypass the gurney and occupant head excursions can be reduced.

Abstract: A system for generating a model of unknown values of several rate series at specified times includes a computing device configured to receive input indicative of the parametric model type of the unconditional rate dynamics; receive input indicative of a known or unknown rate value for each rate series and for each specified time into the computing device; generate the values of the known rate changes; generate an unconditional multidimensional probability distribution of the known and unknown rate changes; generate a multidimensional probability distribution of the unknown rate changes conditional on the known rate changes taking their known values; and provide output from the computing device indicative of the modelled values of the unknown values of the several rate series. The several rate series have unconditional rate dynamics characterized by a parametric model type in several dimensions, each rate series having at least one known value.

Abstract: A distributed cable modem termination system (CMTS) in a hybrid fiber/coaxial (HFC) plant. The distributed CMTS comprises a network layer, at least one media access control layer, and at least one physical layer. The media access control layer implements a media access control chip. The media access control chip interfaces with the physical layer to provide timing to maintain components within the physical layer. At least one physical layer is connected to a respective at least one media access control layer. The network layer, media access control layer, and physical layer each function as separate modules. The media access control chip does not require packet level media access control functions to be implemented in the same physical location. This enables the network layer to be in a separate component location of the HFC plant from the at least one media access control layer and the at least one physical layer, yet physically connected throughout the HFC plant.
